“Accordingly, the Russian delegation voted in favour of the Security Council resolution on extending the mandate of ONUSAL for a regular six-month period until 31 May 1994.”

“We welcome the agreement reached between the Government and the FMLN on speeding up the implementation of the Peace Accords. We share the positive assessment by the United Nations Secretary- General of the commitment to peace and stability made by six out of the seven candidates for the presidency of El Salvador. In that commitment, they undertook to support the constructive development of the peace process and to carry out all the obligations contained in the Peace Accords. We truly believe that the time has come in the settlement in El Salvador for all parties to make the maximum effort to ensure the successful consolidation of the peace process and to make irreversible the democratic changes, full respect for human rights, and the socio-economic reconstruction of the country, with the active support of the international community.”

“It is particularly important now to concentrate efforts on ensuring proper compliance with the provisions of the Peace Accords, particularly those concerning the phasing out of the National Police and the full deployment of the National Civil Police, the transfer of land and the carrying out of other reintegration programmes that are of essential importance to the establishment of a new atmosphere and the laying of a solid foundation of respect for human rights in El Salvador. Pursuant to the recommendations of the Commission on the Truth, an impartial, independent and credible investigation of the activities of illegal armed groups should be carried out as soon as possible. We trust that the parties involved will reach agreement on such an investigation in the very near future.”

“The settlement in El Salvador has now entered the delicate stage of preparations for the elections which are to be the culmination of the peace process. In this connection, we share the profound concern of the Secretary-General of the United Nations over the human rights situation in El Salvador, particularly with respect to politically motivated murders, but also as regards delays in establishing the National Civil Police, as well as delays in carrying out the registration of voters and certain socio-economic aspects of the Peace Accords. All of this has had a negative impact on the political atmosphere and on confidence in the peace process.”

“Mr. LOZINSKIY (Russian Federation) (interpretation from Russian): The Russian Federation welcomes the fact that the peace process in El Salvador has moved ahead and that significant progress has been made in achieving many of the goals of the Peace Accords. Credit here goes primarily to the parties themselves, the Government of El Salvador and the FMLN, both of which made serious efforts to achieve national reconciliation. Undoubtedly, an important role was also played by the United Nations. We note with appreciation and fully support the great contribution made by those in charge of the United Nations Secretariat in promoting full and timely implementation of the Peace Accords in El Salvador.”

“The Russian delegation voices the hope that the implementation of the provisions of the resolution adopted today will promote an improvement of the situation concerning the security of United Nations personnel.”

“In our view, the resolution that has been adopted adequately reflects the general approach of the members of the Council to resolving this relevant problem and takes into account the important proposals and recommendations contained in the report of the Secretary-General (S/26358). The Russian delegation regards as extremely important the resolution's provision that security matters should be an integral part of the planning for any United Nations peace-keeping operation. There is a need for Governments of host countries to take appropriate measures to ensure the security and safety of United Nations personnel and for all parties to the conflict to cooperate closely with the United Nations on these questions.”

“The Russian Federation favours the firmest of measures in order to ensure reliably the personal security of the military, civilian and police personnel of United Nations operations, as well as that of the representatives of other international and non-governmental organizations and programmes rendering humanitarian assistance in emergency situations. Their lives, health and dignity must be protected from attacks by extremists. There is a need for resolute and tough action regarding those individuals who bear direct blame for the organization and execution of armed attacks and other acts of violence against international personnel.”

“Mr. LOZINSKIY (Russian Federation) (interpretation from Russian): The Russian Federation, as an active participant ina number of United Nations peace-keeping operations, is seriously concerned about the problem of the security of forces and personnel of United Nations peace-keeping in various regions. Unfortunately, the situation in this regard has recently deteriorated and urgently requires an appropriate response and practical measures on the part of the Security Council and the Secretary-General.”

“3) The Russian delegation expects that the leadership of UNITA, for its part, will show political realism and a sense of responsibility to the people of its country and will genuinely work with the Government of Angola for an immediate cease-fire and a just and lasting settlement on the basis of the Peace Accords and the relevant resolutions of the Security Council. The Russian Federation will continue to work actively with the international community to bring about a rapid settlement of the situation in Angola and to ensure peaceful, democratic development in that country.”

“It is clear that if UNITA continues to refuse fully to carry out the relevant decisions of the Security Council, then the question arises of applying to it additional measures, such as freezing its overseas assets and bank accounts. We also feel that it is important to confirm in the resolution the need to provide assistance to the Government of Angola in support of the democratic process in that country. As was emphasized in the joint statement of the "Troika" of observers: "The way to a reasonable political compromise for the sake of the future of the people of Angola is open and the Government of Angola has repeatedly affirmed that." (S/26064, annex, p.”

“The delegation of the Russian Federation feels that the Security Council must adopt a resolution containing the most serious warning to UNITA that if in the near future it does not agree to establish an effective cease-fire and fully implement the Peace Accords and relevant resolutions of the Security Council, the Council will consider imposing measures under the United Nations Charter, including a mandatory embargo on the sale or supply of arms to that organization. An effective measure for influencing the leadership of UNITA would be, in our view, the declaration of a ban on commercial ties with that organization and on any assistance to it which is inconsistent with the peace process.”

“As a result, one of the engines caught fire, but the crew succeeded in returning the aircraft to Luanda. That took place despite the fact that the flight plan to that area had been agreed upon with UNITA. This policy of continuing military activities and breaking off the democratic process in the country - a process which is being carried out under the auspices and with the assistance of the United Nations - is being pursued by UNITA despite the unfailing readiness of the Government of Angola to achieve a peaceful settlement, in accordance with the Peace Accords and relevant resolutions of the Security Council.”

“As evidence of the fact that UNITA and its leadership are continuing to ignore the efforts of the international community to restore peace in the country, we have the latest news agency reports that while the United Nations is preparing to deploy an operation to bring assistance to the peaceful population of Angola who are suffering from the war, on the morning of 14 July armed units of UNITA attempted to break into the administrative centre of the province of Cuito/Bie, which has been under siege for the last six months. A few hours ago I was called by the Russian Ambassador in Angola. He informed me that this morning, while flying over the airport at Mbanza-Congo, an area controlled by UNITA, a Russian aircraft, an AN-32, was fired upon from the ground as it was delivering humanitarian assistance provided by the World Food Programme.”

“Ina joint statement published on 8 July on the results of the Moscow meeting, the "Troika" indicated that the critical situation in Angola was a result of the fact that UNITA was continuing to follow its aggressive military strategy of capturing and occupying territory administered by the Government of Angola; that it was stubbornly refusing to re-establish a cease-fire in accordance with the Peace Accords; and that it was not observing the key principles of those Accords, including its pledges to respect the results of the September 1992 elections, to participate in a government of national reconciliation according to the election results and to integrate its military forces in a unified national armed force.”

“There is serious concern in the Russian Federation over the continuing worsening of the military, political and humanitarian situation in Angola. The Secretary-General's report rightly points out that events there present a serious threat, not just to the people of that country but to the security of the entire area. Russia, together with the other members of the "Troika" of observers, Portugal and the United States, has been making persistent efforts to bring about a rapid settlement of the Angolan crisis through negotiations.”

“We venture to hope that their participation in the Council's work will help us to carry out the task before us: ensuring a rapid return to peace in the settlement of the Angolan question and the imposition of a political solution to the problem. For a number of years the United Nations has been making great efforts to normalize the situation in Angola. In this connection, we should like to express special gratitude to Miss Margaret Anstee, who selflessly carried out her duties as the Secretary-General's Special Representative for Angola, and also to all the staff of the United Nations Angola Verification Mission II (UNAVEM II) and other international organizations that are bringing assistance to the people of Angola.”

“Mr. LOZINSKIY (Russian Federation) (interpretation from Russian): At the outset, Sir, I should like to congratulate you on your assumption of the presidency of the Council and to express our certainty that your diplomatic talent will guarantee the success of the Council's work this month. The Russian delegation would also like to express its gratitude to the Permanent Representative of Spain, Mr. Yafiez Barnuevo, for the effective way in which he guided the work of the Council during the month of June. The Russian delegation wishes to welcome the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Angola, Mr. Venancio De Moura, and the Ministers of the other African States who are attending this meeting.”

“The impression may be given that the international community regards such punishment as an end in itself, to the detriment of ongoing efforts to seek a peaceful settlement, which requires a well-balanced and well-thought-out approach.”

“Mr. LOZINSKIY (Russian Federation) (interpretation from Russian): The delegation of the Russian Federation abstained in the voting on the resolution just adopted, since we are against any further steps - in addition to the ones already taken within the United Nations system last autumn - to separate Belgrade and keep it outside international organizations. Recent events in the Yugoslav crisis, in which all parties are involved, and the fact that the leadership of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia has undertaken specific steps to apply pressure on the Bosnian Serbs in order to ensure that they adhere to the Vance-Owen plan, make the idea of meting out further punishment to Belgrade inappropriate, in our view.”

“Unfortunately, these efforts, including the good offices of the Secretary-General of the United Nations, have not produced the desired results. Accordingly, the Security Council had no alternative but to adopt another resolution providing for enforcement action to ensure compliance with the resolution it had previously adopted. Russia was compelled to proceed to this solution, although this was not easy for us in view of our long-standing friendly relations with Libya. The Russian Government expects that Libya will take a realistic look at the situation and decide to comply with the wishes of the world community, and that it will put to good use the pause of goodwill established by the resolution and implement the Security Council resolution, in which case there will no longer be any need to enact sanctions.”

“Mr. LOZINSKY (Russian Federation) (interpretation from Russian): As was already stated by the representative of the Russian Federation in the Security Council when resolution 731 (1992) was adopted, Russia unequivocally and categorically condemns international terrorism, which poses an overt threat to our common security, and believes that all States should cooperate in establishing responsibility for the perpetration of terrorist acts. Guided by the desire to ensure compliance with resolution 731 (1992) - which was unanimously adopted by the Security Council - without resort to enforcement action, the Russian Federation, together with many other States, has been trying for two months now to convince the Libyan authorities to heed the will of the international community.”

“By actively and unanimously responding to the Secretary-General's report on the situation in Somalia, the Security Council has once again demonstrated the great peace-making potential of the United Nations.”

“Furthermore, we associate ourselves with the views expressed here concerning the need to draw a clear distinction between United Nations expenditures on peace-keeping and the parallel expenses incurred in providing technical, humanitarian and other assistance, which should be funded either through voluntary contributions or through the active and coordinated involvement of the United Nations specialized agencies and other organizations in the United Nations system. We should especially like to emphasize the importance of close cooperation between the United Nations and the Organization of African Unity, the League of Arab States and the Organization of the Islamic Conference, particularly in consulting all the Somali parties, movements and factions with a view to convening a conference on national reconciliation and unity in Somalia.”

“We support the draft resolution's urgent appeal to the Somali parties to fulfil their obligations under the cease-fire agreement of 3 March, cooperate with the Secretary-General and ensure that humanitarian assistance by the United Nations, its specialized agencies and other humanitarian organizations is provided to all who need it. We also support the Secretary-General's rapid dispatching to Somalia of the technical team which will carry out the mission set out for it under paragraphs 73 and 74 of his report (S/23693 and Corr.1). It is important for there to be a total cease-fire and a complete cessation of military activities as quickly as possible, and for all possible steps to be taken to ensure the unimpeded delivery of humanitarian assistance to the country.”

“Mr. LOZINSKY (Russian Federation) (interpretation from Russian): The Russian Federation supports the efforts designed to put an immediate end to armed conflict in Somalia and to achieve national reconciliation and agreement in that country as quickly as possible. We rate the activities being carried out by the Secretary-General, Mr. Boutros-Ghali, and by the Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs, Mr. James Jonah, very highly. The Russian Federation supports the draft resolution we prepared during our consultations, given the critical nature of the developing situation in Somalia and the loss of life and the suffering caused by the conflict, which harbours a threat to international peace and security.”

“We hope that the participation of the high-level Iraqi delegation in this meeting of the Security Council is evidence of the fact that Baghdad has finally become aware of the responsibility incumbent upon it and that it will begin to cooperate with the United Nations and, through its actions, reaffirm its intention fully and unconditionally to implement all the provisions of the Security Council resolutions that are binding upon it.”

“The vital interests of all United Nations Member States demand an immediate and unconditional implementation of that programme. The Russian Federation unequivocally favours Iraq's return to the international community as a full-fledged member and the lifting of the economic sanctions placed upon it. However, to achieve that the Iraqi Government itself must realize the seriousness of what it has done, recognize its errors and draw the appropriate conclusions from the numerous statements and decisions of the Security Council. Instead of confrontation with the Council, Iraq must immediately and fully implement all of the Council's demands. Such an outcome would answer to the interests of the whole of the international community and, to no less degree, to those of Iraq itself. There can be no other solution for the Iragi leadership.”

“More, Iraq had drawn up and was beginning to implement a programme for the production of nuclear weapons and was making preparations to manufacture biological weapons in violation of its obligations under the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) and the Convention banning bacteriological and toxic weapons. Iraq had threatened to use chemical weapons, and evidence of its use of such weapons in the past made those threats particularly ominous. Carrying out the responsibilities entrusted to it by the United Nations Charter, the Security Council drew up and reaffirmed a programme of measures aimed at halting those actions, which were most threatening to international peace and security, and at preventing their recurrence.”
1992-03-11 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.3059 (1992) · source
“We also believe it is important to emphasize the need for Iraq's unswerving implementation of all its other obligations, in particular those affecting the servicing and payment of its foreign debt, as provided in paragraph 17 of Security Council resolution 687 (1991). We get the impression that Baghdad is still not fully aware of the great seriousness of what Iraq has done. For the first time since the Second World War, a half century ago, one State has occupied and annexed another sovereign State Member of the United Nations, brazenly violating its obligations under the United Nations Charter and the fundamental principles of international law.”

“A most disturbing situation in the field of human rights in Iraq is discussed in the report of the Special Rapporteur of the Commission on Human Rights, and it has a direct bearing on the question of the implementation of Security Council resolution 688 (1991). 'The Special Rapporteur came to the unequivocal conclusion that the Government of Iraq is responsible for widespread and systematic violations of human rights of the most serious nature, namely, mass executions, torture and genocide. Moreover, as his report notes, there are no indications that the Iraqi Government intends to cease such practices.”

“Particular note should be taken of the fact that more than six months ago the Council adopted resolutions 706 and 712 (1991), which provided Irag with an opportunity to sell a certain quantity of oil to finance the purchase of foodstuffs, medicines and other materials for humanitarian needs. The Government of Iraq, however, refuses to avail itself of this opportunity. We can only express regret, therefore, that, while refusing to proceed to a full and genuine implementation of the Security Council's decisions, Baghdad should intensify the sufferings of the Iraqi people and block any mitigation of those sufferings.”

“Another subject of particular concern is the repressive policy of the Iragi authorities with regard to the civilian population of the country, in particular in those regions in which the Kurds live and in the south of the country, in violation of the provisions of Security Council resolution 688 (1991). Along with other members of the Council, we are particularly sensitive to the fact that, as indicated by the Secretary-General's Special Representative, the Iraqi Government has placed limitations on the supply of basic consumer goods to the northern part of the country. As a result, that region is receiving less than half of the usual deliveries of foodstuffs, and its population is experiencing serious deprivation.”

“An unsatisfactory situation also exists concerning the implementation of other provisions of resolution 687 (1991). Thus, according to existing data, Iraq is continuing to detain more than 2,000 Kuwaitis and citizens of other countries, and the Iraqi authorities are not rendering necessary assistance to the International Committee of the Red Cross in its search for missing persons. They are not providing representatives of that organization with access to all the detainees and to all places of detention. There have been inadmissible delays in the process of the return by Iraq of seized Kuwaiti property, including military property.”

“The inconsistency of repeated Iraqi statements to the effect that all the information demanded has already been submitted is reaffirmed by the constant discovery during inspections of new and undeclared components, which have a direct bearing on Iraqi programmes linked to activity banned under the various Council resolutions. A cause of serious concern for members of the Council are the obstacles created by the Iragi authorities to the Special Commission's work, in particular, the recent case of Iraq's refusal to destroy, within the timetable laid down by the Special Commission, equipment relating to ballistic missiles. Incidentally, paragraph 9 of resolution 687 (1991) clearly demonstrates that such equipment must be destroyed and that Iraqi attempts to dispute this demand are unacceptable.”

“In accordance with the demands contained in the Council resolutions, the Special Commission and the IAEA should receive from Iraq a comprehensive, final and complete picture of all aspects of the Iraqi programme for weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missiles with a range exceeding 150 kilometres. Iraq knows, of course, exactly what information must be submitted, as extensive demands in this regard were repeatedly submitted to it by the Special Commission. However, the virtual refusal by the Iraqi side to do so has been forcing the Special Commission and its inspection group to gather data in bits and pieces within the framework of the mandate entrusted to it by the Security Council.”

“The information submitted by the Special Commission demonstrates that until now Iraq has made no statement concerning its unconditional agreement to implement all its obligations under resolutions 687 (1991), 707 (1991) and 715 (1991) regarding the programme of ongoing monitoring and verification of its renunciation of weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missiles with a range exceeding 150 kilometres. The information conveyed to the Security Council by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) also demonstrates that the information submitted by the Iraqi side is not in keeping with the demands of the plan for the implementation of ongoing monitoring and verification. Moreover, the Iraqi technical specialists themselves were in agreement with this observation.”

“Moreover, Iraq has recently been making efforts to review the implementation of those obligations, which it earlier had officially undertaken, so as to put off the preliminary conditions for the implementation of the various provisions of Security Council resolutions. Such conclusions stem in part from the results of the recent negotiations held in Baghdad between the Executive Chairman of the Special Commission, Ambassador Ekeus, and representatives of the Government of Iraq.”

“That aggression cost the lives of thousands of totally innocent Kuwaitis and citizens of other countries, and caused enormous material damage. In order to prevent the recurrence of such a criminal venture, the Security Council drew up a set of measures designed to ensure peace and stability in the region. However, as is pointed out in the President's introductory statement and in members' statements, the result of Iraq's refusal fully to abide by its obligations under the Council's resolutions is that an extremely dangerous situation now exists. The events of the last year indicate that the Iraqi leadership has yet to begin to cooperate with the Council and to implement all its decisions.”

Moreover, on behalf of the delegation of the Russian Federation, I should like you to convey our gratitude to the Permanent Representative of the United States, Ambassador Pickering, for the great diplomatic art, professionalism and energy with which he so outstandingly guided the work of the Security Council in February. A year has passed since that time when, through the efforts of the international community, on the basis of Security Council decisions, Iraq's aggression against Kuwait was halted.”
